NEW YORK--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Moody’s Analytics, a leader in risk measurement and management,
announced today at the ABS East Conference that its Structured Finance
Portal has signed over a dozen new clients since it launched in February.

“The strong momentum the Structured Finance Portal has seen from the
market is an endorsement of the strength of our offering, which is
well-positioned to meet client demand in the CLO space”

The portal provides financial institutions with innovative content and
analytics, delivered in real-time in an easy-to-use web-based format. It
contributes to greater operational efficiency by reducing the manual
process typically associated with normalizing and aggregating data.

The majority of new users are on the buy-side, followed by
collateralized loan obligation (CLO) managers, sell-side analysts, and
risk professionals.

“The strong momentum the Structured Finance Portal has seen from the
market is an endorsement of the strength of our offering, which is
well-positioned to meet client demand in the CLO space,” said Luis
Amador, Managing Director and Head of Moody’s Analytics Structured
Finance Advisory Team. “As our subscriber base grows, we are investing
to meet demand and to add support for additional asset classes.”

Initially focused on CLOs, the portal is expanding to include ABS autos,
ABS credit cards and student loans. It includes loan-level data, such as
default probabilities and financial ratios, to show which deals and
managers are most exposed to a loan and who has been trading it recently.

Also included are hundreds of metrics on manager style and performance.
Users can compare managers and their trade behavior, loss mitigation,
market perception and concentration choices in addition to NAV (net
asset value) analysis. It also provides access to up-to-date estimated
SSFA (simplified supervisory formula approach) capital charge
calculations for each tranche, along with the underlying factors.
